Our Approach
At Akros Middle School, we recognize the individuality of students and appreciate their talents, interests, and needs. Students learn in an environment where mutual respect, shared responsibility, and the value of each individual are emphasized. All students are held to high expectations and the process of learning as a life-long experience is encouraged. Academic programs are geared toward providing a challenging college preparatory curriculum while recognizing that students also need structure, support, consistency, and encouragement as they mature through these vital years.
Each student has access to a Chromebook, which has become an invaluable learning tool in our curriculum. This 1:1 program allows the students to always have access to the tools and resources of the 21st Century classroom. Our finding is that students learn best and are more engaged when they are able to access, analyze, and synthesize information using digital tools. The 1:1 program helps our students to achieve and be successful in a fully digital learning environment.
Our educational program is designed to promote the intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and cultural wellbeing of each of our students. We strive to develop maturity, self-confidence, skills, and knowledge.
